Walking away from two decades in the fast-paced worlds of DC politics and Silicon Valley Tech, Kimberly Hunter followed her heart toward slow fashion, championing small-batch artisan production and showcasing the creative handiwork of individual artists. She believes that globally, we must elevate the wisdom of indigenous communities if we wish to heal our planet and each other.
Caught unexpectedly in Thailand in early 2020, Kim kickstarted her long-time dream and founded Traveling Traders Bazaar, immediately supporting indigenous Hill-tribe artisans impacted by COVID with the production of face masks. In 2022, she released a brand new collection of essential travel accessories featuring handwoven textiles by Lahu Hill Tribe artisans and handmade with her Fair Trade partners in Chiang Mai. Kim lives in Oaxaca, Mexico, with her soul mate Zachary, where they live the slow life in an adobe house in the mountains.
